London could be in for a possible tornado as the Tornado & Storm Research Organisation (TORRO) has issued a warning for much of the area.

TORRO has shared that wind gusts of 50mph could be possible, alongside isolated tornadoes.

Additionally, people could have to contend with occasional thunderstorms.

The affected areas include the central area of England, South East Midlands, East Anglia and much of the South East of England.

London issued a tornado warning 

Discussing the potential tornado TORRO shared: "A shortwave trough will move NE through today.

"Showers and isolated thunderstorms are already present around parts of SW and S England, and these will tend to move NE through this morning, with other showers and a few thunderstorms developing inland via diurnal heating."

They added: "Deep layer shear is favourable for small clusters or lines of storms to form, and whilst low-level shear is reasonably modest, some backing of the flow ahead of the trough could assist in the development of low-level rotation, and perhaps a brief tornado or two.

"The most likely area of this to occur is across southern counties in the depicted area, but as models are keen to develop rather widespread showers through the day, the risk is drawn in a broader sense."

While TORRO has issued a tornado warning, the Met Office forecasted strong winds with highs of 31mph and lows of 26mph.

The Met Office added: "Heavy, potentially thundery showers will initially be mostly confined to southern coastlines but will soon develop across the region from late morning. Breezy across the south of the area, with strong winds toward the coast. Maximum temperature 19 °C."
